OECD Leading Indicators – Reliable?
Jeff Harding
Jeff Harding (fundador de "The Daily Capitalist") analiza la economía, la política y las finanzas desde la perspectiva de libre mercado. Su enfoque es el de la Escuela Austríaca de Economía. El objetivo de Harding es desafiar el pensamiento contemporáneo, sobre todo de aquellos que promueven la economía keynesiana y los que confían en las soluciones a los problemas desde el estado. Truman Factor publica artículos selectos de Jeff Harding en inglés y en español.
